Product Details
Gardeners lacking the space to incorporate our native Joe Pye Weed into sunny borders may rejoice. Eutrochium purpureum Euphoria™ Ruby (formerly classified as Eupatorium purpureum) is a compact, carefree selection that tops out just under 3'. She offers the same dusky pink, nectar-rich flower clusters that pollinators adore, and she flowers earlier in the season to boot. 'FLOREUPRE1' PP 31,668
Some species within the Eupatorium genus have been reclassified into the Eutrochium genus based on genetic data, although their care, ecological role, and ornamental value remain unchanged. The Eutrochium genus is native to North America and includes a variety of tall, robust plants with beautiful, nectar-rich flowers that are excellent for attracting butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Species include Eutrochium purpureum (Joe Pye Weed), Eutrochium maculatum (Spotted Joe Pye Weed), and Eutrochium dubium (Coastal Plain Joe Pye Weed). They play a significant role in native plant gardens and conservation landscapes due to their ecological benefits and adaptability to different garden settings.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.
